      @amoroso I remember, I was there, 5000 years ago, at the university of Geneva we used a program that supported both protocols.

        @thias I heard about the protocol back then but didn't experience it or know its background.

          @amoroso I only remember hearing about it but never actually knowing what it was. The Exchange connection makes sense as the addressing scheme looks like LDAP. I wonder if X.400 can be routed over the internet for a #marchintosh project 🧐
